Do I have to cook the quinoa

[RollinWithTheStones]

or can I just soak it over night?

Family really didn't like it and I have two boxes

I don't really know anything about quinoa but a quick search of the internet using the words - quinoa and anti-nutrients - turned up an interesting article on research at Brigham Young University:

quinoa . . . growth and survival of broiler chicks (click)

I don't know if your quinoa has been processed or not. There is saponin in the quinoa seedcoat and it is pretty obvious that it must be removed or neutralized. Anti-nutrients are not just difficult to digest but they interfere with the digestion of other important nutrients in the diet.

The quonia should be cooked, and make sure to rinse good it before you cook it. It only takes 20 minutes to cook.
